Can another person make you happy? On this episode of the Happiness Hour, Dennis Prager explores the relationship between happiness and the people in our lives. He argues that while others can make us unhappy, they cannot make us happy. True happiness begins with us. However, when we are already happy, the people around us can add to that happiness. Dennis explains why we cannot depend on a spouse, friend, or family member to make us happy, and why entering a marriage in the hope that it will solve our unhappiness is a mistake.

Through conversations with callers, Dennis explores the connection between happiness, goodness, and personal responsibility. He discusses the role of therapy in helping people find their own happiness, why he believes good people tend to be happier than bad people, and how we can respond when the actions of others cause us pain. The discussion offers a practical look at what happiness requires and how we can contribute to the happiness of those around us.

Mark Gonsalves spent 1,967 days held hostage in the Colombian jungle after the plane he was traveling in crashed during a counter-narcotics mission. In this interview with Dennis Prager, Gonsalves recounts his capture by FARC guerrillas, the brutal conditions of captivity, and how the group used American hostages as political leverage. He describes the violence and intimidation he witnessed, the ideology used to recruit young guerrillas, and the uncertainty of living for years at the mercy of his captors.

Gonsalves also shares how he turned to God as the plane was going down and how faith and hope sustained him through five and a half years in captivity. He recounts the daring Colombian military operation that finally brought his ordeal to an end, along with the emotional reunion with his daughter, who had grown from a child into a teenager while he was gone.

His story is one of survival, faith, and perseverance in the face of extraordinary hardship, and a sobering look at the human cost of terrorism. Gonsalves also co-authored Out of Captivity: Surviving 1,967 Days in the Colombian Jungle, documenting his experience alongside two fellow hostages.

What do men do that drives women crazy? In this edition of the Male Female Hour, Dennis Prager turns the tables and asks women to explain the behaviors that frustrate them most about men, particularly when dating or navigating relationships. Dennis argues that understanding male sexual nature is important, but it does not give men a free pass to say or do whatever they want.

Dennis takes calls from women who describe the difference between normal male attraction and behavior that crosses the line. They discuss men who stare rather than make eye contact, openly ogle other women while on a date, or make sexual comments that are more likely to offend than attract. Dennis also addresses the familiar dating line, “If you loved me, you’d sleep with me,” and explains why men who genuinely care about a woman should know better than to use it.

The conversation goes beyond sexual attraction to explore other behaviors that damage relationships, including bragging about intimate details, lying to impress others, treating waiters and service workers rudely, making empty promises, and comparing a woman to an ex. Dennis argues that good relationships require more than understanding the differences between men and women. They also require self-control, consideration, and an awareness of how our words and actions affect the people around us.
